Model UN Team Excels
The Chardon High School Model UN Team attended the Cleveland Council on World Affairs Spring MUN Conference at Case Western Reserve University this past week. Chardon had a total of 10 students attend, representing the following delegations: United Kingdom, Belgium and Denmark in the Economic and Social Council, Switzerland, Thailand, Syria, Tajikistan and Ukraine in the Disarmament and International Security Committee, as well as two delegates in the Chinese Cultural Revolution Crisis.
It was an exciting conference for the team, as sophomore Logan Coles won the position paper award in the Chinese Cultural Revolution Crisis Committee, and senior Grace Kilfoyle won the Gavel Award as the United Kingdom in ECOSOC, a highly coveted honor, awarded to the best delegate from each committee.
After a busy year of conferences, the entire team still concludes that MUN is fun.

Rotary Speech Contest
On March 4, the Chardon Rotary Club hosted its annual 4-Way Speech Contest, where area high school students were invited to compete in the speech contest for cash prizes. From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is the 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor.
The topic for the speech is the student’s choice. However, the speech must clearly show the practical application of all four points of the Rotary 4-Way Test which states: “Of the things we think, say or do, is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and better friendships, & will it be beneficial to all concerned?”
Congrats to Chardon High School students Grace Kilfoyle, who earned first place, and James Gross, who earned third place. Grace spoke on the topic of media bias and James spoke on the topic of vaccinations.
Best of luck to Grace who moves on to the district competition at Aurora High School on April 6.
CHS Spring Musical: Grease
It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hubcaps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-trotting gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski.
The shows are March 14-16 at 7 p.m. and March 17 at 2 pm.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or reserved seating can be purchased online at EventBright.
